<p>The Analyst: I’ve been away for the corporate help desk for quite a few years…and it is a challenge to deal with these issues on your own.
I had a regular external hard drive for years - but I recently switched to a Click Free Hard Drive. You plug it in your USB and it backs up all of your important files (emails, docs, pics, music) with just one click. And if you crash, it’s just one click to restore. You unplug it after you back up and can store it in a fireproof box ( I need to get one of those this week!).
I find the interface to be MUCH easier to work with. I put an appt in Outlook and do a backup each week. I know that puts me at risk for losing recent work - but I HATED those backup systems that were constantly searching my systems for new files. And if I’m working on an important presentation or report, I’ll save it to a flash drive.<br>
Good luck to you!</p>
